In theaters now...

Hall Pass
Short Story:
Owen Wilson
and Jason Sudeikis star as Rick and Fred, two married best friends who catch a fitful case of the seven-year itch. When their wives (played by Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) have enough of their husbands' restless behavior, they offer them a "hall pass": one week of freedom to pursue other women with no marital consequences. Rick and Fred jump at the chance -- but, unfortunately for the two out-of-touch pals, opportunity isn't exactly knocking at their door.

What They're Saying:
"Hall Pass is a hilariously unnaughty movie; you know exactly where it's going." - Time Out New York

"Hall Pass, a light comedy of horny marital woe from directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly, makes a novel statement about the sex wars: It says that they're essentially over. And that the guys -- in case there was any lingering suspense about it -- have lost." - Entertaiment Weekly

Good For Kids?
It's a crude bromantic comedy about guys chasing girls, so we say: "Llet the kids pass on Hall Pass."

Drive Angry
Short Story:
Nicolas Cage, who has previously driven while angry in Gone in 60 Seconds, is back behind the wheel for another fast-paced action flick. Here he plays Milton, a wayward man who escapes the pits of hell to track down the men who killed his daughter and have now kidnapped is granddaughter.

What They're Saying:
"Drive Angry is a mish-mash of familiar elements, but it's all lashed together with such relentless drive, blunt invention and pitch-black wit that it's hard not to get dragged along by it." - Time Out

"A non-stop riot of gratuitous sex, full-on violence, gory gunfights and explosive car crashes make this fun chase-and-chiller combo a high-energy trash extravaganza." - Radio Times

Good For Kids?
Drive Angry has a fair share of raunchy violence that's far from kid-friendly.

In case you missed...

I Am Number Four
Short Story:
John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) is not your average teen; in fact, one might call him an alien (though he looks human). He is a fugitive on the run, constantly changing his identity to avoid those that will stop at nothing to kill him. Now, tucked away in a small Ohio town, John begins to encounter new life-altering experiences, such as his first love (Dianna Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to others that share his unique destiny.

What They're Saying:
"Director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) knows his action beats, and he stages some fierce fights in the third act." - Orlando Sentinel

"I Am Number Four is like a good episode of Smallville: You may feel a bit silly watching it if you're past high-school age, but you just might have a good time." - Arizona Republic

Good For Kids?
Action, romance and a cutie-pie lead? We're betting tweens will lap up this supernatural thriller.

Watch the Preview!

UnKnown
Short Story:
When Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) wakes up from a coma, he discovers that another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Strangely, not even his wife (January Jones) recognizes him. After pleading his case to disbelieving authorities, Martin finds himself alone, tired and on the run from mysterious assassins. It is only after he finds a true ally (Diane Kruger) that Martin begins to uncover secrets to his true identity.

What They're Saying:
"Neeson's always-intelligent screen presence, his nuance and gravitas, help elevate Unknown beyond its preposterous elements." - Associated Press

"We're spun through parking garages, dance clubs and good old-fashioned car chases; Unknown is probably the movie The Tourist wanted to be, if it had a pulse." - Time Out New York

Good For Kids?
Unknown's high-energy suspense sure will keep the kids guessing, but it's probably a bit violent -- and confusing -- for those under 13.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
Short Story:
Martin Lawrence
is back as FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his undercover alter-ego Big Momma in this comedic thriller. When Malcolm's teenage stepson Trent (Brendan T. Jackson) witnesses a murder at an all-girl performing arts school, the two team up as Big Momma and coed Charmaine to crack the case.

What They're Saying:
"The well-established Big Momma combination of cheap and cheesy chuckles, sex-obsessed banter, and slapstick so broad even the biggest of mommas could easily hide behind it." - Radio Times

"It's a marginal improvement on previous outings, if only because Lawrence is slightly lower in the mix." - Total Film

Good For Kids?
Rich in slapstick dialogue, the jokes in Big Momma may be too overwrought with broad humor.

Deadliest Catch Fisherman Justin Tennison Found Dead

Deadliest Catch Fisherman Justin Tennison Found Dead

Justin Tennison, a 34-year-old crab fisherman and star of the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, was found dead in an Alaska hotel room Tuesday. This sad news comes only a year after the fatal stroke of another Deadliest Catch star, Capt. Phil Harris.

According to TMZ, law enforcement officials found Tennison, a crew member on the boat Time Bandit, unresponsive in his bed. A search of the room turned up a small amount of marijuana and several bottles of alcohol in the refrigerator. It's unknown at this time whether or not the drugs or alcohol factored into Tennison's death, but an autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon to determine the specific cause of death.

The Discovery Channel released a statement that they were "saddened by the passing of Time Bandit crew member Justin Tennison" and "send our sympathies to his entire family and fellow crew members during this most difficult time."

Time Bandit captain Andy Hillstrand wrote on the boat's official site that Tennison "fished commercially for many years, living in Alaska for 28 years. He worked on the Time Bandit, alongside his second cousin, Eddie Uwekoolani Jr., serving as Engineer during the tendering seasons, and joined the Time Bandit crew as a deckhand fishing the Red King 2010 and Opilio 2011 seasons."

Hillstrand added that Tennison "was tough as a bull and an-all around good hand" and that his "hard work and many contributions this past year" were much appreciated by the captains and crew of the commercial fishing boat. He added, "We will miss him terribly and wish his family all the best during this most difficult time."

NEWS: NYC "Abortion" Ad Causing A Storm Of Controversy Nationwide

So as I was making my way downtown in NYC 2 days ago, I came across this very billboard.  I was literally sitting in traffic with my mouth open with shock.

 

A 3-story-tall-billboard strategically placed at the busy intersection of Watts and 6th Ave. in Soho is causing a sh*tstorm of controversy across the nation.  And today it's hitting the fan.  Check out the "right-to-life" extremist's newest antic to get attention via shock value...at black children's expense...when you read on...

The arguments against this ad even being allowed to be put up in New York state that this is purely irresponsible, regardless of the message's meaning.  Children who view the ad cannot process complicated issues or underlying messages the way adults can, so this runs the very high risk of scaring and/or humiliating the child reading it.

Here's the run-down of the who and what and why people are so up in arms this week:

"The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb," reads the inflammatory ad sponsored by the Dallas-based pro-life group "Life Always."

The three-story billboard at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Watts Street features an elementary-school aged African-American girl looking out at viewers with a plaintive expression, wearing a bow in her hair and a sleeveless pink jumper dress. The ad directs passersby to the group's website, thatsabortion.com.

Life Always leader, Pastor Stephen Broden, who is African-American, said that his group intentionally released a billboard that would elicit a reaction.

"The black community is oblivious to what is going on with this practice," Broden, 58, said about abortion rates in the African-American community.

"This is far from hyperbole, these are facts and statistically back up that abortion is having an impact on the demography of African-Americans," he said.

According to New York City's latest Vital Statistics report with data from 2009, two out of five pregnancies in New York City end in an abortion, giving the city an overall abortion rate of 41 percent.

Among black women in New York City, the abortion rate is reportedly 59.8 percent, while the abortion rate for Hispanic women is 41.3 percent and the rate for white women is 20.4 percent. The rate for abortions among Asian women in New York is 22.7 percent.

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn both criticized the ad, with de Blasio calling for it to come down.

"To refer to a woman's legal right to an abortion as a 'genocidal plot' is not only absurd, but it is offensive to women and to communities of color," Quinn wrote in a statement of Broden's claim that the high abortion rates among minority women amounted to genocide.

Mae Collazo, 38, who works across the street from the billboard, said she found the billboard incredibly offensive.

"I don't like it all, what is that supposed to mean?" said Collazo, who is African American, "It makes it sound like all we do is abort our children."

Collazo added that she didn't think the higher percentage of abortions registered for African American women in New York necessarily reflect what is actually going on in the community, and questioned the source of the statistics and whether abortions conducted at private clinics are included in the statistics.

But some passersby agreed with the ad.

Patti D'Agostini, 48, who works at the Door Youth Center on Broome Street, said she works with many teen mothers.

"I don't believe in abortion," D'Agostini said. "Kids shouldn't be having sex until they're 18 anyways."

Broden said his organization will remain in the city for another three weeks before kicking off similar ad campaigns in six other cities around the country.

Also, people believe it is unnecessarily targeting black women--making this an extremely racist and humiliating and disgusting "ad".

But, as usual, the folks behind the ad (the leader is a black pastor from Dallas named Stephen Broden of the Life Always organization) defend their actions saying they put the ad in a majority white neighborhood in order to get attention.  And they say the ad is actually for the greater good of showing the bad side of abortions, especially for black women, so people will be less likely to get them.

I have my own views on this topic and this specific billboard itself, and the fact that essentially this "pastor" is saying he's willing to exploit and humiliate black women at the "bigger" price of publicity, but I digress.  Living in the south and also doing my undergrad years in Texas made me privy to these very issues and types of people on almost a daily basis.  So I'm shocked, but I shouldn't be.

But how do you feel about this o fab ones?  And what measures, if any, should be taken now that this advertisement has permeated the nation.
